A Heart Like Home

Finding family is a journey of love, risk, secrets, and healing in a powerful novel by the bestselling author of A Brighter Flame, The Passing Storm, and The Road She Left Behind. When Nova Doubeck is asked to foster two children, she can't say no. With her own childhood wounds healed by adoptive parents, Nova understands the rewards of a caring guardian--even an impermanent one. But nine-year-old Henry and his seven-year-old sister, Bella, are more than Nova bargained for. Combative Henry is at risk of becoming like his abusive father, Egan Croy. Timid Bella, clutching a tin box of treasures, cowers at the slightest noise. Yet Nova gradually earns their trust and affection as they bring unexpected love and joy to her guarded life. Now she can't help but wonder: How will she stop her heart from breaking when the time comes to say goodbye? As Egan aggressively battles to regain control over the children, Nova's protective instincts prove just as fierce. In fighting to save Henry and Bella, she'll unlock the secrets hidden in their past--and learn more about herself and the true meaning of family than anyone imagined.
